Dick Francis's Bloodline Audiobook

" Horses- yes. Mystery -yes. Dick Francis - no, not really. "

" Knappe jongen die enig stijlverschil met het werk van wijlen Dick Francis kan ontdekken. Hoe lang zouden die al door zijn zoon geschreven zijn? "

" The son is carrying on the fine tradition of his father, and Martin Jarvis is an excellent reader! No disappointments here "

" I really liked the beginning, but thought the end/reveal was a bit far-fetched. "

" Just as good as his dads books. Always fast paced. "

" Felix Francis's characters are not quite as likable as his father's were, but they withstand just as much abuse. Main problem with this one was that I had almost forgotten the murderer was a character in the story he appeared so peripherally. So I was completely blindsided by the ending. I hope he gets better. Enjoyed learning about the broadcasting end of things though. "

" Mark Shillingford's horseracing sister has committed suicide...or has she---admist a race fixing scandal. Mark looks into the events surrounding his sister's alleged suicide at the expense of his and others' lives! Fast skim...and potential page turner! "

" Just what I needed, a good, mindless, quick read. "

" Good mystery set in England--based on horse racing "

" If you are a Dick Francis fan you will not be disappointed. Felix does a great job of continuing his father's tradition. "

" Felix's tone is much the same as his dad's with a better use of modern technology. I have been enjoying the continuation of these horsey mysteries with an underdog hero. Always a good, quick read. "

" Pretty good mystery. But you certainly would never guess the killer. So in that respect... not so good. "

" Story meandered. Too many extraneous deaths. Sadly, he is no Dick Francis. "

" He is writing fairly closely to his father's style, a little sexier, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. "

" Mark Shillingford is a television horse racing commetator. When his twin sister, a leading jockey, apparently commits suicide he wants to know why. A gossip journalist is murdered and Mark becomes a target himself. In an attempt on his life a female friend is killed. "

" Nicely brisk tale of blackmail and deception in the Britain of horseracing. "

" Good solid Francis. Decent storyline. Either Felix is getting nearer to his dads style of writing or I'm getting used to Felix's style of writing. "

" My favorite so far by Felix Francis (and I do hope there will be more). This book has great character development, a lot of info about sports telecasting, and some nice twists and turns along the way. "

" I miss his father. This was a fair approximation of Dick Francis's work, but it seemed more violent and the ending more out of the blue. The love interest was startling, rather than building naturally. Martin Jarvis put in a sterling performance. "

" I think Felix is doing a fine job carrying on his father's legacy. I liked this. It had the feel of a DF novel. The plot was pretty sound and all the elements made sense and worked together. I don't think a Francis fan would be disappointed in this one. "

" What's not to like? I whipped right through this including finishing it in the middle of the night by torch light. I think that Felix writes pretty much exactly like his father. "

" Rather insipid. Not like Dick Francis! "

" This was a poor immitation of his father's books. I couldn't stand any of the characters, they were not likeable at all. The more he killed off, the better. He needs to give it up, I miss the real Dick Francis! "

" Felix does a good job writing in his father's style. I was engrossed in this story but would love to feel the world of the racetrack more. I really liked this character though. I would like to read more of him. "

" He's not his father; still an enjoyable read but too easy to put down. "
